Meet Trudi Lebron, CEO of ScriptFlip!, a 7-figure diversity, equity and inclusion consultancy. Lebron shares how entrepreneurs can run a profitable business that prioritizes impact.

We lived in the inner city in Connecticut and I remember always having this feeling of not belonging. There weren’t a lot of biracial children in our community and I had this exhausting burden of literally defending my identity to the other kids. People didn’t believe my father was my father because he is darker-skinned than me and I didn’t speak Spanish well.

core values on their way to making change. So that’s what I focused my business on: that intersection between entrepreneurship, inclusivity and impact."Lebron: On the shows, people would say things that I hadn’t heard before about money. That it could be easy to come by. That really blew my mind because I grew up thinking it was hard to get and might actually be bad.

For years, I was working on faith and hustle. I felt like I was screaming and no one was listening. I was basically saying, “Hey, I smell smoke in the back of the building!” But no one realized that lack of diversity was going to eventually become a raging fire. We had more than 600 people live on the call. I had to keep upgrading my Zoom account status so more people could join. Since then, we’ve had more than 2,000 people purchase my workshop. My business had been bringing in multiple-six figures for years, but this one product did that alone last year.
